He's the rookie receiver that carries the most hype imo. I expect he will be on the PR or IR when the season begins but if he pans out another receiver may be cut to accommodate him. So they have Dressler, Adams, Denmark and JFG or another Canuck locked in positions. That leaves all of the following competing for one starting import receiver job plus a couple of backups or development guys. Davis, Lankford, Liggins, Lowder, Peterson, Raper, Sheppard, Stafford, Thorpe, Washington, Williams. Yeah, i imagine 1 guy Di 1 guy starts. Probably 1 on the pr. A lot of guys there goin to the waiver wire. * maybe some one like thorpe sticks on the IR and moves to the PR when healthy to get a good look at em.

My bad, I knew it was one of the 2 teams as it was the only televised one, and thought it was hamilton initially but a quick peek at cfl.ca listed him with ottawa in 2016 so i figured it might have carried over to this year too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 4 hours ago, Zontar said: He wanted a signig bonus for what amounted mediocre kicking overall and often brutal punting. Austin probably thinks he can get that for less from someone else. I think he,s right 2016 - 82% FGs and 45.9 yard punting average. He can get another kicker for less money but I doubt he gets that performance. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Round Table is scheduled for 11pm EST for some reason. Excellent game between the Stamps and the Esks. plenty of good QB's and receivers on both sides of the ball and Franklin looked fabulous. Anyone wanting to write off either team had better think twice, neither is going down without a fight.

Devone Claybrooks but he was probably never 'really' available... but for sure its sparse pickins out there... In terms of replacements... you're probably going to have to look at some new blood - I think Jason Shivers, Greg Knox, Ike Charlton all probably have the right mindset/experience to step up and have experience in the right systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) I would think if Steinauer will return to the CFL, O'Shea will take a run to get him. Edited June 12, 2017 by M.O.A.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying Chandler Fenner at safety this week. Our draft pick Luke is going to be a force on the Dline. Vaillencourt can't crack the starting Oline. Nick Moore back in a starting role.
